"Zhongde, why are you so sorry to me?"
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu with doubts on his face and said puzzledly: "Although he failed to prepare the staple food, those are meat, which is more important than the staple food. Nowadays, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy meat. This is also a great achievement. ah!"
Zhong Yao and the others were also confused, not understanding what Cheng Yu meant when he said sorry.
Xi Zhong joked: "Does Zhongde not want to use these meats as military rations?"
"Of course not!"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "It's just that the origin of my meat is not very good."
The origin was not good, could it be that he was robbed by force?
"Even if Zhongde snatched it back, it doesn't matter. Zhongde, just tell me, why are you sorry for me?"
Cao Cao wanted to know what Cheng Yu had done.
Cheng Yu hasn't been acting normally lately.
Cheng Yu originally didn't want to say it in public. After struggling in his heart for a long time, he bowed deeply in front of Cao Cao, lowered his head and said, "I asked people to collect the corpses of people who starved to death outside the city and cut off their flesh." Next, smoke it into dried meat and mix it into the grain..."
vomit……
Before he finished speaking, the opera singer next to him couldn't hold on anymore and felt his stomach tumbling.
I vomited out all yesterday's dinner.
Xi Zhong originally wanted to ask Cheng Yu for a piece or two of dried meat to go back and improve the food.
This is human flesh!
Seeing Xi Zhong vomiting out, Guo Jia and Zhong Yao also felt uncomfortable. They had heard many things about changing children and eating them, but this was the first time they had been exposed to cannibalism at such a close distance.
too disgusting!
Cao Ren now regretted opening the cloth covering the dried meat on the car and quickly covered it up again.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but they felt that there was a terrible rancid smell emanating from the meat.
It doesn't smell good anymore.
"Zhongde, how could you, you..."
Xun You wanted to say a few words of blame, but he didn't know where to start.
Cheng Yu lowered his head in shame.
"Zhongde, if this matter gets out, what will you do?"
Cao Cao understood that he was doing it for himself, but his approach was too extreme.
Is this cannibalism?
It was Cao Cao's subordinates who were cannibals. If word got out, even if Cao Cao could find a scapegoat to take the blame, and even if Cheng Yu died to apologize, he would still be infamy for thousands of years and be reviled by thousands of people.
"For the sake of my lord, I don't care."
Cheng Yu said with certainty: "I have considered various consequences before doing it, but I am willing to bear all the consequences. If it is leaked, the lord can kill me to calm the public's anger. I have no regrets."
"Zhongde!"
Cao Cao burst into tears and was so moved that he didn't know how to describe it.
Cheng Yu was undoubtedly loyal, but his approach was very bold, a hundred times bolder than Chen Zhou's tomb robbery.
But the method of robbing tombs is much better than cannibalism. Cao Cao dared to rob tombs openly, but he did not dare to openly cannibalize people.
"Zhongde has good intentions, but this is also an impossible solution."
Man Chong sighed.
Using the dead to save lives is indeed a helpless approach.
"Zhongde, has all the meat been divided?"
Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "This is the first batch made. Fortunately, Du Zhi and the others came back, otherwise they would really be divided."
"Someone, take this meat away and burn it secretly."
"In addition, Zhongde's matters must be kept secret and no one can leak them."
"Zhongde took risks to help me. I can't let Zhongde feel cold."
Cao Cao thought to himself that it was fortunate that it had not been divided yet. If it were divided, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Cheng Yu said gratefully.
Cao Cao said: "Let's forget about this matter. We will arrange for people to buy grain and find those aristocratic families to buy in large quantities to replenish the grain as soon as possible."
Now that we have money, the food crisis is almost over.
Fortunately, Chen Zhou is here!
After they retreated, Cao Cao said, "Zixiu, please tell me more about digging the grave."
Cao Ang told the whole process.
"Do you think I should arrange for someone to dig the grave?"
Cao Cao suddenly had a very bold idea.
Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Father, if you do this, it will be very harmful to your morality and make people criticized."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, not caring about this at all, and said calmly: "If you can cross the river, you dare to do it, why don't I? I can communicate with ghosts and gods, so I am not afraid of evil deeds. If you criticize others, you won't be able to eat enough. What's the use of criticizing?" But I won’t dig all the time, only when there is no food.”
Cao Ang knew that he could not be persuaded, so he gave up.
Cao Cao said again: "You said that your husband mentioned that you should touch Colonel Jin and General Faqiu!"
These two terms were brought up by Chen Zhou when he was explaining tomb robbing to Cao Ang on his way back.
"I will confer Duzhi with the title of Captain Mojin. Dian Wei will stay with Duzhi for the time being and serve as General of the Army in Qiu. At the same time, I will arrange for another two hundred people to be assigned to Duzhi. That's it."
Cao Cao said with a slight smile and said: "Touch Jin Xiaowei, Faqiu Zhonglang General, Du Zhi's name is good, I like it."
Cao Ang said, "I'll go tell sir right away."
——
Chen Zhou took Dian Wei home and brought back a box of gold and a box of jewelry.
"Sir, I put it here."
Dian Wei was extremely powerful and came in easily carrying a heavy box in one hand.
"Just leave it alone. Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you take two pieces of gold back?"
Chen Zhou said.
Dian Wei shook his head and said: "No, my lord will definitely reward me. It's great to be with my husband. Except for the ghost blowing the lamp, which is a bit scary, there seems to be nothing else."
After he finished speaking, he smiled a little naively.
"gentlemen!"
At this time, Cao Ang came, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Father said, I will give you two hundred more people. I will grant you the title of Colonel Mojin, and the general Dian will be the general of Faqiu Zhonglang. If there is a need in the future, I will ask you to dig a grave." "
It can be seen that Boss Cao has tasted the benefits of digging graves and does not want to give up this side job.
If you need it in the future, keep digging.
"Touch Captain Jin?"
Chen Zhou was thinking that he really wanted to become Hu Bayi's ancestor, and said: "Young master, please help me to thank my lord. I will take this Captain Touching the Gold."
Dian Wei said: "Are we still going to the tomb in the future?"
He once saw a ghost blowing out a lantern, and he was a little scared.
Chen Zhou said: "Of course I have to, but it depends on the situation. By the way, sir, help me find someone to carve a seal and ribbon."
"It is carved out of jade, with the inscription 'Blessed by heavenly officials, there are no taboos'."
"With a seal in your hand, all gods and ghosts will avoid you."
"This is for Lao Dian. It's called Faqiu Seal."
"In addition, I will find a few more skilled craftsmen, and I will build an umbrella, the Diamond Umbrella..."
Chen Zhou briefly explained what Faqiu Zhonglang needed, and also drew the graphics.
He was even thinking about making a gold-touching talisman?
I will catch a pangolin later to make a gold-touching talisman, but this small animal shouldn't be easy to find.
"Thank you sir!"
When Dian Wei heard that his husband prepared things for him to avoid ghosts and ghosts, he was no longer afraid of encountering ghosts and blowing out the lamp.
Cao Ang didn't quite understand the use of these things, but as the master ordered, he could arrange them.
Now that you have money, it is not difficult to build anything.
